It's my privilege to serve as ambassador of After-School All-Stars to the South Florida community. My focus is primarily on stakeholder development, fundraising, corporate partnerships, marketing, PR, and media relations. After-School All-Stars (ASAS) is the leading national after-school program provider serving at-risk youth. Our innovative and comprehensive school-based programs combine activities and learning to help build the knowledge and skills kids need to succeed, both in school and in life. Our programs focus on middle school students attending schools where the majority of students come from low income families. Founded as a national organization by Arnold Schwarzenegger in 1992, ASAS is building a national model for after-school program delivery through our 19 chapters, all of which serve at-risk youth in major U.S. cities. The South Florida chapter of ASAS currently serves over 2,000 low income, inner city youth daily at 18 middle school sites across Miami-Dade County as part of our greater National Network that serves over 90,000 children across the US from NY to Hawaii.
